Hunters participating in this fall’s bear hunt, which opens Monday, Sept. 1, should avoid shooting radio-collared animals to aid researchers in collecting valuable data about Minnesota’s black bear population, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.

DNR researchers are monitoring about 30 radio-collared black bears, most of them in northwestern Minnesota near Thief Lake, New Main, Twin Lakes, Pelan, Beaches Lake, Skull Lake and Caribou wildlife management areas and the Agassiz National Wildlife Refuge.
